Yes, yes, we're behind, aren't we? I should be talking about Andrew Jackson by now, and we're not even through with James Monroe (who should be the easiest president for me to write about, considering that I live in the town he retired to and occasionally walk my dog past the James Monroe Museum).
So let's do what Congress does and take a recess. Here are two books for you to read: Paul C. Nagel's John Quincy Adams: A Public Life, a Private Life and Jon Meacham's Pulitzer winning American Lion: Andrew Jackson in the White House.
We'll pick back up in the new year.
